Really? Last time I checked, I don't have weapon/armour degradation. And consequently, no spells for breaking armour and weapons as well.

I also don't have open lock spells.

Or feather spells.

Or mark/recall spells.

Or levitation or jump spells.

Or walking on water spells.



Where are these options? Are they in the perk trees somewhere?

Oh, and care to explain to me how I can get to level 100 in "one-handed" using only a dagger and sneaking up on people and back stabbing them, and then a second later, I'm a grand-master at using an axe and/or a sword? How does that make sense? They aren't exactly the same type of weapon, unless you consider the fact that they are held in your hand to be "the same". That ISN'T realism.

And before you say "OH BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO SPECIALIZE IN THE PERK TREE!". Give me a break. The specializations are petty.

If they had devoted a separate tree for each type of weapon (think, morrowind complexity of weapons) they could have made the specialization actually worth-while.





Also, WHERE ARE MY SPEARS AND CROSSBOWS?

If they ditch the engine, then i will be pleased.

I've been preaching to my friends since the wee days of Oblivion that all the lumping together of options (which I believe we are calling streamlining nowadays?) will only serve to take away the ability realism and free-formality. Preach on... preach on. Maybe one day TES can be reclaimed to the PClolololololol.... I just couldn't say that with a strait face. TES PC version is doomed.

It's almost as if they're trying to make more money by catering to a wider audience

A businessman will create a TES themed park, which will work out until we discover the dragons can change sixes and are reproducing.

Elsweyr would be sweet, what with all the badlands, deserts, and sandstorms. It just seems like it would be an interesting and badass land.

Oh gimme a break. All the options are still there, they just don't give you a little sub-category for everything, and that IS realism.

Like or not, Beth isn't only trying to make games for the angry orthodox RPG gamers, there trying to make a freedom based fantasy world that ANYONE can approach and play how they want.

I forsee less skills. Soon it will be "melee, blocking, armour, archery, offensive magic, defensive magic, and lockpicking" And yes, those are the names of the individual skills. But don't worry, perks will be making a come-back!

I forsee less spells. Less weapons. More voice acting, but less dialogue options.

I forsee little to no change in the combat AI. Return of the dreaded level scaled loot and enemies. Overall less complexity and realism.

I forsee alchemy ingredients becoming weightless, but there will be prettier alchemy ingredients so hardly anyone will give a damn.

One thing that I'm looking forward to is the graphics improvements. They're doing a good job on that.

I forsee another release date similar to the 11-11-11 marketing gimmick that will only work against the quality of the game.

I forsee less variety of monsters/enemies.

A businessman will create a TES themed park, which will work out until we discover the dragons can change sixes and are reproducing.

I personally wish to see the elder scrolls be set in every province at least once.

We still don't know what the creation engine is capable of. It was downscaled for the Xbox360.


As for High Rock, in Skyrim, M'aiq says he is tired of snow, which means the developers are as well.

Hey Luke, do you like Skyrim and Morrowind? Also, do you think Bethesda will ever go backwards and try to make a TES like Morrowind?
